SYSLINUX: Boot Failed installing woody

[Andrew Perrin <clists@perrin.socsci.unc.edu>]

Greetings-

I just built a new machine (AMD XP 2200+, 1G RAM), and I'm trying to do a
network install of woody. I haven't done this, since I haven't inaugurated
a new machine since potato.

I created and verified the rescue, root, and driver floppies, and booted
to the rescue floppy. But on booting, I just get the SYSLINUX line,
followed by "Boot Failed".  

Any ideas where to go?

Thanks.
